Monero surpassing Cardano has caught the eye of the community as Cardano has been ahead for a long period of time. The disruption of cryptocurrencies on the chart started when Bitcoin SV entered the top ten club. Monero has captured headlines multiple times in the past, acting as a privacy coin that enables a lot of use cases.

Recently, Riccardo Spagni aka Fluffy Pony spoke about how Monero can be useful for a more privacy-oriented network. Spagni is a core team member and developer at Monero. He had said:

“The lack of privacy and so Monero will have made inroads already in places like Venezuela and in countries with oppressive regimes. And at that point even if Bitcoin has added privacy, it will not necessarily be an easy switch over for the people that are already in the ecosystem.”
